"Aunt, I don't blame my cousin. He must have been delayed by something important," Zhi Wan said.
She didn't blame her cousin.
Because she knew what he had gone off to do.
But he had been gone for so long, and she couldn't help but worry.
Unfortunately, Jiang Shi had gone with him, so no matter how worried she was, there was no one she could ask.
Hearing this, Lady Wei smiled and teased, "Starting to defend him already?"
Zhi Wan's face grew warm. "I'm not defending my cousin..." She thought for a moment, then told her the truth. "My cousin told me before he left, but I didn't expect him to be gone for so long. Perhaps he didn't expect it either."
Her cousin had always been thorough, but this time, he had even missed a day as important as the betrothal gift ceremony. She was afraid... something had happened to him.
